Abstract

Modification of a simple biocomposter basket was carried out because there were still shortcomings i.e. the support poles were not strong enough to support the net, the net used was not sturdy, the net hole was too large and there was no seat base. The purpose of this study was to modify the previously designed biocomposter basket, to test the performance of a simple household-scale biocomposter basket. The research was carried out in two stages, namely the stage of modifying the frame with the addition of support poles, the base of the seat at the bottom, then replacing the net. The second stage is a performance test with composting carried out for 60 days. Household organic waste and rice hull as raw materials were treated with: A1 (1: 0), A2 (1: 1), and 3 (1: 2). The frame construction is declared safe because it can support a compost load of 32 kg with tensile stress (σ) of the frame, which is 0.275 N/mm2 which is smaller than the allowable stress (σ) of the material, which is 48.1 N/mm2. The result of the modification is to strengthen the frame by adding 4 support poles, replacing the net with a size of 0.5 mm, and adding a seat base measuring 10 cm from the ground. Based on the results of the performance of the modified biocomposter basket, it shows that the 6 baskets have the same performance, for the best compost composition is produced at a ratio of A1 (household waste without mixture) because the raw materials for household waste have met the requirements of the C/N ratio from the beginning to the end of composting
